A coincidence this morning:
As an example of my own sometimes making mistakes by myself not doing enough careful checking,
even as I have skills and have experienced knowledge of this species;
as well as perhaps not experienced with this species while having experience with P. rubiginosum: @Tapirlord and yourself.
Even though we all have skills and plants' spp. identification experiences.

Thus this sighting identification corrected:
actually a flowering smalller plant than its full potential tree form;
with much more height–growth potential it has yet to realise,
identifies to _Pittosporum wingii_ !!!

Good humbling for us all – including us always take care more and more.

The reasoning available here – especially the distribution of hairiness compared with _Pittosporum rubiginosum_ :

I am now uploading my own many sightings of some of the _Pittosporum_ species of this wet tropics bio-region (NE. Qld) .
